Are there any other public hunting opportunities for large game animals, turkey, javelina, alligator, feral hogs and/or other exotics species for both adults and youth?
A7: Yes, by application through our Special Permit Drawn Hunts program. The drawing book becomes available usually the last week in June or by the first week of July. There are specific hunt categories available and several hunt areas within each category. Only 1 application per person per hunt category will be accepted. All or just a few categories that interest the applicant can be applied for; but only one area may be submitted in each category. There are specific application deadline dates for each category and those submitted applications must arrive in Austin at our headquarters no later than 5pm on the deadline date. Late applications will be disqualified. Once you apply for a hunt for that year, you will automatically receive the drawing book the following year. Other pertinent information on the Special Permit Drawn Hunts and applications may be found on the website under: Hunting & Wildlife – Drawn Hunts.
